Convert Panic to Performance: Tips to Overcome Exam Stress

Mindfulness

Before starting your study session, spare 15 minutes for a mindfulness meditation practice to centre yourself and begin your study with a fresh mind.

Set Realistic Goals

It's not possible to study 12 hours straight. So set realistic goals and take breaks between study sessions.

Prepare Well

If you're well-prepared, you're less likely to experience exam stress. So, start months ahead of your exams and find ways to study efficiently.

Don't Beat Yourself Up

It's important to try to be your best and not be afraid of the results. Bad results need not translate into negative thoughts. Instead, you should assess your performance and try again after preparing well.

Talk To Someone

Consider speaking to your teacher or your parent about your exam stress and how you're feeling. You must never be ashamed of asking for help.
